Inhaltsangabe

Refuting misconceptions about using low-enthalpy geothermal resources for electricity generation, this book explores low-enthalpy resources as a solution for power generation and global warming mitigation. It touches on geochemical and geophysical methods for geothermal exploration in addition to power generation techniques, the economics of power plants using low-enthalpy resources, and small geothermal projects for rural electrification. It is an important source for all scientists working on geothermal energy development, specifically for those researching in developing countries rich in such thermal resources as well as for agencies involved in bilateral and international cooperation.
